“The foundation has its form 990 prepared by an outside accounting firm and has established the following review process to ensure that the information reported is complete and accurate. After review of the form 990 by the director of finance and president of the foundation, the form, in its entirety, is sent to each member of the board of directors electronically. Once each board member approves the return, the accounting firm is advised that the form 990 is cleared for filing.”

“Public agenda sends to each board member annually a copy of its conflict-of-interests and code-of-ethics forms, which each board member must fill out, sign, and return to public agenda. The director of finance reviews these forms and any conflict-of-interests noted on the form are brought to the attention of the board at its fall meeting and are reviewed. No director shall vote on any matter, under consideration at a board or committee meeting, in which such director has a conflict of interest. The minutes of such meeting shall reflect that a disclosure was made and that the director having a conflict of interest abstained from voting.”
